To Wavelngth USB DAC users: Best ripping/playback?
The ripping procedure you use is not the problem. I have both a MAC and PC and listen to Apple Lossless and WMA Lossless. Both formats work very well with my Crimson.I have not heard the AMR CD player, but if you are looking for something to be SO...

It appears that the Icron does not support 16/44.1 yet. 
Wow Windows Vista sounds sooo much better
OK guys. Tomorrow I install Vista. I'm interested to see how it works with my Wavelength Crimson USB DAC. The USB-ASIO driver for Vista has not been released yet. I'm also interested to see if The Burwen Bobcat works well with Vista.Just in case, ... 
Watt Puppy 7 with Pass X250.5?
The WP7 is an exceptional speaker. Don't be fooled by Audiooracle with his self serving posts. 
Scott Nixon USBTD vs Wavelength Brick
The Crimson has really changed the playback landscape for me. The tridoe tubes present the most beautiful midrange I have ever heard in digital. SACD and DVD-A for me are just not as musically statisfying as listening to CDs ripped to my MacBook P...

No. I;m saying that it is always recharged with its recharging unit when not being used. I'm also saying that I have never depleated the unit with hours of use.

ESS speakers "Translinear" Transstatic
I owned a pair of these speakers back in the early 70s. I found them to be far superior to the early ESS AMT-1. I would avoid the Transtatics as there are probably no replacement parts; especially the RTR drivers. By todays standards, they are not...
